Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Roll the ground sausage into a ball and flatten with your hand between a sheet of parchment paper. The sausage patty should be very thin since it will plump up when cooking.
Step 2: Place the sausage patty in a nonstick skillet (or use an oiled skillet) and cook over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Flip the sausage patty and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until throughly cooked (165º F). Place a slice of cheese over top and cover the skillet until the cheese begins to melt, 15-30 seconds.
Step 3: While the patty is cooking, toast the English muffin on low to warm it. Assemble your sandwich and enjoy!
Optional Egg:
If making an Egg Sausage McMuffin – heat a small egg pan over medium heat with a pat of butter. Crack an egg into the pan and use the egg shell to break the yolk so it spreads. Cook for about 1 minute, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds until desired doneness. Build your breakfast sandwich with the sausage patty, melted cheese and egg. Yummy!
Tips:
- Be sure to really flatten your sausage patty before cooking. It always plumps up more than you think it will and you want it to cover your English muffin.
- You can make these ahead of time. Wrap them in parchment paper and store in the refrigerator. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until heated through.
